Instructions for Regular Workflow Use:
- Download the attached .ZIP file below to your computer. *Remember the location of the saved file on your computer.
- Unzip the file on your computer. Should end up with a .WFD file.
- Log in to UCS Director as a user that has "system-admin" privileges.
- Navigate to "Policies-->Orchestration" and click on "Import".
- Click "Browse" and navigate to the location on your computer where the .WFD file resides. Choose the .WFD file and click "Open".
- Click "Upload" and then "OK" once the file upload is completed. Then click "Next".
- Click the "Select" button next to "Import Workflows". Click the "Check All" button to check all checkboxes and then the "Select" button.
- Click "Submit".
- A new folder should appear in "Policies-->Orchestration" that contains the imported workflow. You will now need to update the included tasks with information about the specific environment.
This example uses only DOS commands.
To see a similar workflow based on a VBS script go to UCSD Workflow-Windows VM Disk Create (Partition, Format and Assign Drive Letter) (VIX to VBS)
The workflow:
The workflow execution:
The workflow results of the execution:
Step 2
Obtain the details on the VM (context or selected VM)
Reason: Looking for the data store the VM is on
Step 3
The VM may have more then one datas tore. Select the first one.
Step 4
Generate the diskpart file to get the current disk lay out of the system
C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe "/c echo list disk > c:\\f1.txt"
Step 5
Execute the diskpart script and place results into a file
C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe "/c diskpart /s c:\\f1.txt > c:\\f2.txt"
Step 6
Add a new disk to the VM with the custom LOV (list of values) provided of the size of the disk
and the data store obtained in a previous step.
Step 7
Execute dispart again to get new disk layout of the system
C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe "/c diskpart /s c:\\f1.txt > c:\\f3.txt"
Step 8
Determine the differences between the original disk layout and the new disk layout.
C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe "/c FC c:\\f2.txt c:\\f3.txt > c:\\f4.txt"
Step 9
Find the line with the new disk
C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe "/c findstr /L Disk c:\\f4.txt > c:\\f5.txt"
Step 10
Find just the disk name (disk 2)
C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe "/c set /P a= < c:\\f5.txt" &&
C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe "/c echo select %a:~2,10% > c:\\f6.txt"
Step 11
Create a diskpart file with the new disk name and the Drive letter as user input.
C:\\\\Windows\\\\system32\\\\cmd.exe "/c echo attributes disk clear readonly >> c:\\\\f6.txt" &&
C:\\\\Windows\\\\system32\\\\cmd.exe "/c echo convert mbr >> c:\\\\f6.txt" &&
C:\\\\Windows\\\\system32\\\\cmd.exe "/c echo create partition primary >> c:\\\\f6.txt" &&
C:\\\\Windows\\\\system32\\\\cmd.exe "/c echo format quick fs=ntfs label="DataDisk" >> c:\\\\f6.txt" &&
C:\\\\Windows\\\\system32\\\\cmd.exe "/c echo assign letter=${Drive_Letter} >> c:\\\\f6.txt"
Step 12
execute diskpart to partition the disk and format and mount the drive with new drive letter
C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe "/c diskpart /s c:\\f6.txt > c:\\f7.txt"
Step 13
Collect inventory to make sure the disk is in the GUI in UCSD.
Step 14
This could be added to clean up the helper files f1.txt - f7.txt in c:\
I left them there for illustration.
Note:
If VIX has a UCSD variable all \\ turn into \\\\
The following 3 symbols can be passed to a Windows echo command ONLY when on the FIRST line of the VIX script task: & > <
In all cases the symbol needs to be passed with \^ in front.
The \ being the VIX escape character and the ^ being the DOS escape character.
The Run Log:
Service Request ID: 5173
Workflow Inputs:
- USER_ID
- Password_1
- diskType
- Disk_Size
